Nothing wrong with a Mustang II front end. What matters is the quality (or lack of) of the parts used and the skill/ability of the persons who installed it.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Thanks Bob. I think your duster looks amazing and would love to have one just like it. Have you made a pass down the track yet? Not yet, finally doing some upgrades now and hope to make a few passes this year.

I have to say I do love the Dart Sports, Heres Mine.
Welcome to the Club. If I would have known I would have made you a swinging deal on the roller or as turn-key.
Have fun and keep us posted would like to see more on the mustang II front end

The Mustang II unit I have is called(I think) Fat Man or something like that.. its suppose to be the best there is Mike I am not sure if mine was a kit or what? Do you have coil overs or just the Mustang springs on the front end? I had the Alston (Mustang copy) on a tube chassis Cuda went 125 mph no problem. Had tubular upper and lower arms with Koni coilovers. It still took awhile to get the bump steer right, even had to shorten the rack down 1-1/2. Very easy to line up. If the whole one piece setup was installed on yours, no problem

If the whole one piece setup was installed on yours, no problem Hi mine has adjustable coil overs. Mine has what looks like the stock mustang II upper and lower control arms. I found a set of tubberler arms I am going to get for it

Mine is on the front end of my 38 Ply.. I'm gonna pull the 440 out and out in a gen3 to get the front lighter.. I'm still working on it but its on the back burner till I get the Rampage done so I can put the time into it.. I've had the interior out of it 3 times now.. not happy... I have a little over $1200 to do in chrome work to do yet
